Emma has been working diligently over the past few months learning A Burmese Yen Pwe choreographed in 1925 by Ruth St. Denis and Doris Humphrey. Originally performed as a solo by Doris Humphrey, the piece was reconstructed as a duet for MOMENTA in 1988 by Karoun Tootikian of the Ruth St. Denis Foundation. As part of the performance today, Emma and her best friend Juliette performed the sweet, upbeat, and bouncy piece together for the first time.

Emma had the chance to take a Duncan master class from Lori Belilove over the week-end and it was quite and eye-opening experience for her! This afternoon she commented that Emma is a dancer who shows much promise and feels a Duncan workshop is in her future. Needless to say, Emma had an extraordinary afternoon and we all have a better understanding of the dances she is learning every day. I am delighted that Emma is experiencing the joy and a privilege of keeping history alive!
